[PATCH] clone-pack.c:write_one_ref() - Create leading directories.

The function write_one_ref() is passed the list of refs received
from the other end, which was obtained by directory traversal
under $GIT_DIR/refs; this can contain paths other than what
git-init-db prepares and would fail to clone when there is
such.
